The integration of PSSR with eye-tracked foveated rendering allows for ultra-high-definition visuals on PS5 Pro VR headsets, significantly boosting visual fidelity.

PSSR works by analyzing light and color information in real-time and, when combined with eye-tracking technology, enhances visual clarity, though the process is technically complex according to developers.

Similar to NVIDIA's DLSS, PSSR uses neural networks trained on gameplay footage to upscale images with higher quality than traditional methods.

Sony plans to replace PSSR with a more advanced upscaling technology in the future, indicating ongoing improvements in VR visual quality.

The update introduces new features across all platforms, including customizable ships for multiplayer, new exosuit designs, graphical enhancements, and performance upgrades.

A new 'Corvette' personal ship has been added, allowing players to invite friends into an open space with various interactive features.

The launch of this update comes shortly after Sony increased the US price of PS5 Pro to $750, which could influence the cost of high-fidelity VR gaming.

However, Xbox players have faced issues such as black screens after the update, with a hotfix issued that does not resolve all problems; workarounds include disabling HDR10 and Dolby Vision or restarting the console.

This update marks the first public confirmation of PSSR support for PS VR2, with Hello Games collaborating closely with Sony for over a year to bring this feature to life.

The 'Voyagers' update for 'No Man's Sky' is a significant milestone as it makes the game the first to support Sony's PlayStation VR2 PSSR AI upscaling technology, which enhances resolution and detail in VR scenes without a major performance hit.

This update also confirms that 'No Man's Sky' is the first PS VR2 game to utilize PS5 Pro's PSSR technology, improving image clarity specifically for high-end VR experiences.

Sony had announced that PSSR support for PS5 Pro would be added via a firmware update, and this has now been successfully implemented in the 'Voyagers' update, enabling other titles to potentially adopt the technology.
